2. Lorde is bribing New Zealanders with her third album so that they’ll actually go out and vote.

Lorde has hinted she'll release a third album if her New Zealander fans get voting in this year's election. And if that doesn't make you want to vote, we don't know what will.

On Thursday morning, the Kiwi singer uploaded a series of Instagram stories encouraging her followers to vote in the upcoming New Zealand election and referendums.

"We know we live in a special place. And adding all of our voices to the conversation, speaking up for communities and organisations that mean something to us - that's what helps keep it that way," she wrote.

She then hinted that she'll give her fans "something in return".

"Do it for our beautiful country and for me. And next year I’ll give you something in return," she added in a separate story.

Lorde last released new music back in 2017 as part of her studio album,Melodrama.

However she confirmed that new music is coming in an email she sent to fans in May.

3. So there’s more to AB Sow’s rose refusal onThe Bachelorettethan we initially thought.

While we all thoughtthatThe Bachelorfranchise couldn't surprise us anymore, we were wrong.

During the first episode of The Bachelorette last night, contestant AB Sow was offered a rose during the rose ceremony and actually said no. But while this came to a shock to all of us, it wasn't so surprising for the other contestants.

When speaking to The Wash, aBachelorinsider explained that the first episode was filmed over two nights. And during the second night of filming, AB spent the entire time discussing his decision to leave with the other contestants.

"The red carpet arrivals were filmed on July 29 and lasted until around 3am, and then the rose ceremony was shot the next night on July 30. So by that point, the guys had already spent their first night in the mansion together and become friendly. Producers just had everyone put the same clothes back on for continuity," the source shared.
